Nevada DMV is administered by the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), headquartered in Carson City. The official Nevada written knowledge exam has 25 questions, and drivers must answer 20 correctly (80%) to pass. Our practice tests match the exact format, topics, and difficulty of the real Nevada DMV test.
What makes the Nevada DMV test unique?
Nevada's adaptive 25-question exam (it ends the moment you reach 20 correct or 6 incorrect) emphasizes desert driving, Las Vegas Strip pedestrian laws, and unique tourist-area parking protocols.
Under Nevada's "Move Over" law, drivers must change lanes or slow to 20 mph below the posted limit when passing stopped emergency vehicles.
Desert survival (water, overheating) and pedestrian density on the Strip are Nevada specialties.
